TC Electronic PowerCore Compact Firewire DSP Hardware

PowerCore Compact Firewire DSP Hardware description:

TC Electronic introduces PowerCore Compact, a lightweight and portable hardware platform with FireWire ports for easy laptop connection. Right out of the box, the twelve plug-ins provide professional processing tools for mixing, mastering and music production, and the new PowerCore device is expandable via optional plug-ins from TC Electronic, Sony Oxford, Access Music and others.

With the included and optional plug-ins, PowerCore Compact can be optimized for a variety of applications such as mastering, vocal processing and sound design. On top of the nine standard included plug-ins for the PowerCore platform - two types of reverb, two types of compressors/limiters, a chorus/delay, a parametric EQ, a synthesizer, a complete voice channel and a guitar amp simulator - PowerCore Compact comes with the brand new Character plug-in from Noveltech, the dual analog filter bank Filtroid, and Master X3, the virtual incarnation of the TC Electronic Finalizer.

With two 150 MHz Motorola DSPs and one 266 MHz PowerPC you have enough power for most production tasks where mobility is paramount. Integrating seamlessly with most VST and Audio Unit host applications, the PowerCore Compact adds subtle power for demanding processing, taking the load of your laptop or tabletop PC or MAC.
